    Removing Tiles

    for the cost of a few sheets of plasterboard, definitely the better decision to tkae down the existing boards, much quick and less mess. also gives you the opportunity to replace with a tile backing board thats better in a wet environment, ie round the shower/bath

    Upgrading PC Memory

    dave thanks for thank - ordered 2x 1GB and they arrived next day. the system scan is ideal. 1 question though - on opening my PC I have 4 ports, two which were being used by 2x 256MB, but they were not in adjacent slots, so I just put the 2 1GB cards into the empty slots. I'm not...
